Chords
Tom does some pull offs and hammer ons on the first F
[as seen in the video].
Most other F chords are a hammer on, pull off,
hammer on, pull off on C string, 2nd fret.
(I've marked these with a *)
Also, for some G chords played, slide from the original fingering,
to the A string, 3rd fret, then slide up to the 5th fret.
(I've also marked these chords with a *)
Hopefully that explains it.. See the video for more help if needed.

I slept away the Saturdays, trying to mend my injured head.

And I remember in my semi-consious state seeing them wave me a goodbye.

We listened to the radio, ordered pizza, went to bed,
